Amazon’s Cheapest Kindle Just Got Even BetterAmazon’s Cheapest Kindle Just Got
Even Better
Amazon is refreshing its entry-level $79.99 Kindle e-reader with a thinner and
lighter design and double the amount of memory, the company announced
Wednesday. The new model is available now for preorder and will be launching on
July 7.
The updated e-reader will include 512MB of memory compared to the previous
version’s 256MB. It will also be the first Kindle with Bluetooth audio support.
This means visually impaired Kindle owners will be able to connect their
e-reader to headphones or a speaker via Bluetooth to have content read out loud
without needing an adapter.
Amazon is also making it easier to export notes and highlights from a book by
adding the option to send such excerpts as a PDF and a spreadsheet file. This
capability will be coming as a software update in the coming weeks.

Amazon’s most affordable Kindle remains otherwise unchanged for the most part.
The most noticeable difference between the $80 model and its more expensive
siblings its lack of a built-in light for its screen. Other, pricier Kindles,
like the $199.99 Voyage and $289.99 Oasis, also feature controls alongside the
screen for turning pages.
Amazon is also now offering the $119.99 Paperwhite version, which Amazon says
is its most popular Kindle, in a white color option in addition to black.
